Weathered with chrome silver and tamiya's weathering kit. I've tried to replicate a would be scenario where kong's armor is both scrapped and damaged from his fights with his chief adversary, the gojulas. Iron kong was designed as a counter to the Republic's gojulas. And through many battles, both zoids held an edge over each other by countering with weapons such as the gojulas super cannon and the iron kong's answer,
The truster unit which allowed it to outmaneuver the cannons.
Done with iron kong. Here are some size comparisons with the bt shield liger as well as threezero 's shield liger. Height wise, iron kong is indisputably the tallest. Width wise, his body is the largest, however, with guns extended, the bt shield liger triumphs.
Enjoy the pictures :)
The build has been fulfilling so far, done with his weapons; beam bazooka?? , missles, shoulder missles etc. Uncompleted, one can already picture the beast all done up. Just the bust alone looks so magnificent. Enjoy the pictures!
Got this real cheap on Wednesday from a dealer on gum tree. I must say that I'm really excited to be able to embark on this new project. I've since getting my hands on a gojulas, I've always wanted a iron kong to pair up with it. A tomy iron kong just nv had the appeal of posablility. My wish finally came true with this purchase
I've completed the head and chest over 2 days, each day spending about one hour. The amount of details are just so captivating. I probably haven't been this hooked since my ex-s gundam.
Enjoy the pics, more to come soon enough.
Starting out my new project, inspired by some of woodlandscenic ' s tutorial videos.
Beginning with some basic materials such as styrofoam boards, newspapers and tape, I cut out the basic shape on the styrofoam that I wanted; a downslope of a hill. Next, I crushed some newspapers and put them between the styrofoam. Of course, I regularly tape it to ensure that it doesn't burst out and ruin everything later on due to the added weight and materials.
I used paper mache as my first layer of the slope followed by two layers of plaster cloth. Spreading out the plaster on the cloth is essential to remove the cloth pattern.
Next, I used the woodlandscenics mold for rock faces and plaster to cast a few blocks. I've reused some "rocks" from a previously failed project to lessen my trouble.
So updates with the lights on and self made casing!
Simply beautiful and old school. Sometimes I wish that I was born way earlier so that I could grow up playing with zoids. I remember my first model kit being the 1/144 strike launcher gundam given to me by my aunt. Thinking back, I didn't have any proper tools. I used a scissors to remove pieces. Hahahaah, oh gawd. But like many childhood toys, which come n go, my strike gundam is long gone. Perhaps it is good that I only came to appreciate zoids as an adult. I know how to take care of my toys instead of bashing them around like a kid.
Moving on, geno ritter is part of the 30th anniversary zoids series, alongside mirage fox, storm sworder and command wolf. Picked him up at Takashimaya's toy sale. Building him was rather easy and there wasn't a need to paint as it was more than adequately prepainted. The only bad thing being the minor discolouration from removing the parts from the trees. A random thought, how would a geno ritter fare against a geno breaker? If a geno breaker is a evolved geno saurer, what exactly is a geno ritter?
Like some kind of knight. Except it's a dinosaur and a robot
Fierce face
